You know you studied some information for the test but during the test cannot recall that information. After the test, the important information pops into your mind. During the test you were probably:
a)
mistaken about the storage of the important information and therefore not using clustering appropriately in memory.
b)
blocking episodic memory so that implicit or procedural memories could dominate.
c)
using motivated forgetting.
d)
missing the important retrieval cues necessary to access the information.
